The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Leo stood on a slightly protruding rock of a cliff, calmly watching the army passing quickly in the dense fog below, although if he took action now, he could easily leave this heavily armed army of 5,000 soldiers behind. In this canyon, but doing so would go against Sylvia's wishes. For Sylvia now, victory is no longer important, and war is what she wants.

In fact, with Sylvia's current strength, especially the number of legendary warriors in her hands, she is fully capable of launching an all-out war against the city-states and tribes in the central region. bulldozed.

But now in order to be able to steadily and quickly improve her original strength, she has completely adjusted her plan. Conquering the cracked plain is no longer her goal. Maintaining the current war situation is her current plan, so she and the central region dispatch In the battle of the army, she always controlled the state of small defeat or no loss, and at the same time, she did not negotiate with the envoys sent by the central zone, so that the war was always carried out in the blank isolation zone between the central zone and the outer plain.

Although Leo felt a little inappropriate about this, he didn't say much. He was just worried about whether there would be hidden dangers in Sylvia's rapid improvement of his original power in this way. Apart from sorting out memory and other things, most of the time is spent checking Sylvia's condition, and adjusting Sylvia's method of controlling power from time to time to alleviate the adverse effects of Sylvia's possible maturity.

However, even so, Sylvia's temperament has been more or less affected. For example, she is more aggressive than before, and she prefers the feeling of controlling everything, which also makes her queen temperament stronger. Even sometimes Leo will be affected by this temperament, for example, at certain times he will be naturally suppressed below.

This kind of life didn't last too long. After Sylvia was assassinated, Leo stopped his leisurely life in the Thresh Tribe and decided to take a trip to the middle of the Crack Plain.

The reason why Leo made this decision was entirely because the assassin who assassinated Sylvia was too weird. This assassin was an invisible person, who was only discovered by Sylvia at the moment he launched the attack, and counterattacked to kill him. Killed, and at the moment of killing, the assassin's body exploded in a turbulent way of energy, destroying half of the Thresh tribe, and Sylvia who was next to him was the first to bear the brunt. Afterwards, she told Leo that when the assassin exploded, a winged human-shaped light ball appeared in front of her.

After hearing Sylvia's description, the first thing Leo thought of was pure energy life.

There are not many alien races with energy life forms in the universe. Almost every alien race with energy life forms is an extremely powerful individual cosmic civilization, but these energy life forms are only half-energy Life forms, they generally still have a body of different shapes, this body is like an energy container, which can store their life energy, and the number of real pure energy life is extremely rare, so rare that there are records of pure energy in the entire universe. There are only three kinds of energy life, one of which is the light of origin, and its life form represents a race.

However, after calmly thinking about it, Leo felt that it might not be a pure energy life, because it is difficult to kill a pure energy life, even if it is an omega-level advanced life body that wants to kill a life form completely. Pure energy life forms also need to spend a lot of money, but according to Sylvia's description, she only counterattacked, and the assassin was fatally injured, and then the energy exploded. This is obviously far from the pure energy life he knows.

Although the assassin didn't have any items left to prove his identity, from the form in Sylvia's eyes when he died, Leo had reason to believe that the assassin might be the Valkyrie in the holy tower in the middle of the cracked plain, and by coincidence The most important thing is that the holy tower may be a beacon of origin, which immediately aroused Leo's curiosity, so he was ready to leave for the central area of ​​the cracked plain immediately.

For ordinary people, it is very difficult to enter the central part of the cracked plain, not to mention the maze-like canyons and mountain streams, the monsters hidden in this area alone are already an insurmountable natural danger for ordinary people. There are only three roads that can safely enter the central area from the outer plains, and these three roads have now been set up with numerous checkpoints by the city-state tribes in the central area, and they are basically impassable.

However, these obstacles are completely useless to Leo, because he never thought of taking the narrow roads at the bottom of the cracks in the cracked plain from the beginning, but walked directly on the ground of the cracked plain.

Although the entire plain is completely divided into small fragments by criss-cross cracks, and each small fragment is separated by a gap that ordinary people cannot cross, but these are only for ordinary people. For Leo, it is easy to use The psionic wings flew over, and the only thing he needed to pay attention to were the various flying monsters that inhabited the mountain wall.

These flying monsters usually only feed on wild beasts below the mountain stream, and sometimes prey on intruding humans. They have a strong sense of domain, and once outsiders break in, they will launch a group attack, and the brains of these monsters Very small, very wild, even if Leo uses the power of life forms to suppress them, it will not affect their viciousness at all. They will only escape after killing a certain number of flying monsters rushing towards them.

For Leo, it just takes more time, and it won't affect him too much, but the flying monsters he killed along the way caused a lot of trouble in the middle interval between the outer periphery and the central area of ​​the plain below. Trouble, because the bodies of these flying monsters were scattered in those mountain streams, the thick bloody smell attracted all kinds of monsters hiding in the mountain streams, canyons and tunnels, and when these monsters met together, they broke out in bursts of fighting, resulting in even more A lot of corpses, just like a chain reaction, all the monsters under the Crack Plain emerged one by one, participating in this monster riot.

Originally, this monster riot was only in a small area in the middle of the plain, but with the continuous accumulation and spread of corpses and blood, the movement of underground monsters gradually spread to both sides, and soon affected Outer tribes and the war in the central land.

The two parties who were originally fighting would tacitly clean up the corpses after each battle, just to prevent the strong bloody smell and corpses from attracting all kinds of monsters underground, but what they never expected was the tide of monsters caused by other places It would actually affect them, so they had to temporarily stop fighting and turn to deal with the monsters attracted by the bloody smell.

Sylvia was a little dumbfounded about this, she didn't expect that Leo would inadvertently destroy her attempt to maintain the war, but fortunately she soon discovered that the conflict with monsters could also promote the improvement of her original strength, but The rate of improvement is just a little bit slower.

Compared with the tribes on the outskirts of the plain, the situation in the central area is even worse. First of all, the internal and external connections were cut off due to the underground monster riots. Now the army fighting on the outskirts of the plain became a lone army, if it wasn't for Sylvia's intentional release of water , Now that lone army may have been completely wiped out. Secondly, there are many more monster groups hidden in the various crypts and canyons in the central area than in the outer areas. The riots of these monster groups have undoubtedly threatened the safety of the city-state tribes in the central area. , forcing the central region to continuously send troops to the various tribes and city-states besieged by monsters to support them, which also exposed the hidden strength of the city-state tribes in the central region to Leo who had entered the central region at this moment, and also to Hill Via's eyes.

Because we already knew in advance that the city-state tribes in the central zone and the tribes on the outskirts of the plain had a huge difference in civilization, so when we saw that the city-state tribes in the central zone had some advanced mechanical devices, and the weapons used by the army in the city also included gunpowder weapons and energy weapons, Leo didn't feel too much surprise and surprise,

Although the army in the central region is equipped with gunpowder weapons and energy weapons, there are not many of them. It seems that some officers and their personal guards are equipped with them. It can be seen from the various workshops in the city-states that these weapons should not be made by the city-states and tribes in the central region, so once the ammunition and energy of these weapons are used up, the weapons will be useless.

In addition to weapons, there are more legendary fighters in the central region. Even in order to let these fighters vent their strength, some large city-states and tribes in the central region have built places like gladiatorial arenas to let the legendary fighters with excess energy Fight inside.

It has to be said that in terms of combat effectiveness alone, the overall strength of these legendary fighters is much higher than those legendary fighters that Sylvia stimulated through strength. It is no exaggeration to say that these legendary fighters have been killed through various battles Each can be one against ten.

However, the strength of personal combat power cannot make up for the advantage in numbers. You must know that during this period of time, the number of legendary fighters that Sylvia has mobilized has exceeded 20,000, and many of them are currently fighting on the front line. With the enrichment of combat experience, their combat effectiveness will also increase accordingly. Such a large number of legendary fighters is enough to push the central area across. Unless the army in the central area uses energy weapons, otherwise, even if all gunpowder weapons are used, it will not be changed. war situation.

Leo didn't stay in the tribes and city-states in the central area for too long. He just surveyed the terrain a little bit at a high place, learned about the basic situation of the local area, and supplemented the missing information for Sylvia before leaving. The tribal area of ​​the city-states in the central zone rushed towards the three major city-states and holy towers in the middle of the cracked plain.

Just as there is an isolation zone between the central zone and the outer plain, there is also a barrier between the central zone and the plains where the three major city-states are located.

This isolation zone is different from the middle isolation zone outside. It is shrouded in dense fog all year round, and countless terrifying monsters inhabit it. Any intruders, even fully armed legendary warriors, will also be trapped inside. There is only one straight road opened by the predecessors, leading directly to the main gates of the three major city-states, and on that road there are groups of monsters domesticated by the three major city-states, the number of which is tens of thousands, unless it is a day of celebration or festival, the three major city-states open their doors. Except for the city gate to disperse the group of monsters and let the tribes of the city-states in the central area enter, at other times, the three major city-states have no connection with the outside at all.

When Leo came to the periphery of the isolation zone, he easily recognized that the dense fog that shrouded the isolation zone all year round was actually a kind of energy fog with a corrosive effect. Under the action of this energy fog, intruders would not If you encounter a monster, if you stay a little longer, you will be corroded by these energy mist. Even the body of a legendary warrior cannot resist such energy mist.

However, the effect of this energy fog on Leo is not very great, so in order to avoid conflicts with the monsters living on the only road and alarm the people in the three major city-states, Leo chose to pass through this layer directly. Corrosive energy fog.

The first problem Leo encountered after entering the energy fog was that he lost his way, but this did not bother him. Before entering the energy fog, he had already discovered that the energy fog actually flows, and the law of flow is a kind of rolling inside and outside. According to the circulation law, as long as you follow the direction of the energy fog flow, you will definitely be able to reach the other side of the energy fog in the end.

After solving the direction problem, Leo also used spiritual energy to create a protective cover to solve the corrosion effect of the energy fog. At the same time, he also found the source of this energy fog, and this source surprised Leo. , because this source is the remains of a god.

This is not the first time for Leo to see the remains of the gods. Naturally, he can easily distinguish the remains of the gods that have been completely fossilized and integrated with the surrounding terrain. , comparable to the 100-meter giant Leo had seen, and the remains had no head, so it looked like it should have been chopped off.

On the remains, you can see many traces of man-made excavation. It seems that someone has mined this god's remains as some kind of ore before. There are many completely destroyed tool fragments and some seemingly It is like an artificial cave for a residence. From these discoveries, it is not difficult to see that at a certain time in the past, this land boundary should not have had such a strong corrosive energy mist. Some kind of mine they thought.

But later, maybe they touched some kind of taboo, which caused the remaining divine power in the remains of the god to explode, forming the current energy fog.
